Went to the site but didn't find a pic in the gallery. Found where you could custom order one.

Keeps wanting to save the pic as a "download"

I just did screen captures, then saved the files.

When you click on the model, it auto cycles through showing different tops.

Danka! Pretty thing, isn't it?

Very interesting and quite nice looking. The player in the video sure made it sing. I’ve been playing for 50 years but i took some sage advice 40 years ago to pursue geology over music. I am still a pretender musician!

Rocks in your head, huh? Me too. I love geology.

You should see our collection. Spent days and weeks crawling the southwest.

We have a monster piece of petrified wood my grandad bought from the gift shop at the Petrified Forest back in the day when they sold the stuff there.

I remember as a kid going to an archeological dig here in NV (we lived in CA at that time) called Ichthyosaur. Came upon it by accident while following the old Pony Express route. After leaving we followed a dirt road 5 miles or so south just to see where it went. We came across a couple of B*M guys in a Blazer taking water samples from a lone spigot in the middle of nowhere. No well. No pump. Nothin'. Turns out it was an artesian well and the water was drinkable but very high in iron. Cool job.

I can't walk and chew gum at the same time so I can't play well but I can sing like a bird. Musical instruments, to me, are works of art.

I became enthralled with geology as a boy scout, hiking the Appalachians unmolested. I managed to collect a couple of trunks full of specimens. They will burden my children some day. I followed the passion and earned my undergraduate degree in geology. I did field camp one summer working with a USGS team performing topographic elevation checks and installing benchmarks. Some how after graduation, I found myself employed in the oil business where I molted to geophysics. Forty years later I'm retired with my only connection to rock being music.

I'm not much good musically but I sure have fun trying. It's a good break from politics! Musical instruments mesmerize me as well. I love the feel and power of a good guitar. Just when I think I have all that I want, I rediscover the N+1 formula. Too bad I can buy equipment but not talent.
